Oh sturdy willow will you lend your wisdom
the discipline on how you’ve existed
through persistent seasons turning timid breezes
to turbulent surges that can thicken all my senses my mood
Please teach me willow how you cradle gently
the ornaments arranged down your rooted body
I am meek and stagger like a feather wavering
and I can merely grasp these rigid things they preach inside our heads
then it’s finally quiet when I need him
and I sway like your vines and branches
hovered over in a weeping fashion
yellow lovely leaves that filter in his breeze
I worry willow now that your branches are twisted
from nature’s fury enduring the tolls that change us
there are things we can’t control and it makes us so worried
I hear them preaching but it does not console
Yellow lovely leaves that filter in his breeze
a mellow trance as they sweep

Been following Ryan Olcott's work for nearly 20 years now, from 12 Rods (the best of alternative 90s music) to Mystery Palace (glitchy melodic greatness) and now c. Kostra has gone and done it again, having quickly grown on me with it's soulful and inventive playfulness. DEAN RANDALL
